“At this stage,” says Ubisoft.

A Ubisoft spokesperson told IGN that there are no multiplayer components planned for Assassin's Creed Rogue “at this stage” but was unable provide further details on whether multiplayer modes could roll out beyond its launch.

In Rogue, players take on the role of Shay Patrick Cormac, a Templar tasked with thinning the Assassin ranks as he sails around the Northern Atlantic Ocean in a ship called the Morrigan. Cormac's story is set during The Seven Years' War and ties into the upcoming Assassin's Creed Unity, slated to launch October 28 on new-generation consoles and PC. Confirmed in-game locations that players can explore in Rogue include New York and the Appalachian River Valley.

Officially unveiled last week after a number of leaks, Assassin's Creed Rogue will arrive on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 11. Ubisoft Sofia is developing the title in collaboration with Ubisoft’s Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan and Bucharest studios.

Ubisoft plans to reveal more details about the title at Gamescom 2014, which takes place from August 13-17, 2014 in Cologne, Germany. We'll be reporting live from the conference to provide you with all the gaming news. In the meantime, check out our Rewind Theater video above to learn even more about the game.
